Re: NOTE WELL: IETF-MailSig List Participation Rules

This is not WG mail list (right now), therefore reference to 2418 and 3934 as primary ones in regards to management and actions are not appropriate at this time.

Also to enable new rules/regulations rough consensus needs to exist to
do it, not the other way around as you put it.

Folks,

Based on some public discussion on the IETF mailing list and some quick web page assemblage, there is now an explicit statement of the rules for this mailing list.

The rules are located at:

  <http://mipassoc.org/mass/ietf-list-rules.html>

This note is both an assertion of the rules and a request for any indication of rough consensus AGAINST them.

As an assertion, this email serves the equivalent to the IPR "NOTE WELL"
statement used in the IETF.  That is, it ensures that all participants are
informed of the rules that are in force.

Note that the rules strictly involve IETF standard documents, so that there is absolutely nothing special about applying them to this group. If there is rough consensus NOT to use these rules, it is not clear under what rules the list will operate, to satisfy IETF requirements.

The rules impose requirements on all participants and they specify courses of actions when there are problems.
